The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.

Muskegon Heights: Muskegon's Black Experience-- Part 2: Fairview Housing
Fairview Housing had 100 units with 100% occupancy with over 1,700 black residents. By 1950, that number had risen to 7,382. Before Fairview was built, many of the Blacks even slept in box cars.
In 1943, a court ordered that Fairview have city water and sewer. These units, althought originally intended to be temporary, lasted until 1961.
Doesn't sound like a very nice place to have lived.
